Welcome to the public fundraising page for WrestleFest Europe 2026.

Thanks to our supporters—and to you—we successfully established an international event with over 250 fighters. Your unbelievably positive feedback and the number of requests we received speak volumes and show that we did something right. So much so that we are already working feverishly to incorporate your ideas and prepare for over 500 fighters at WrestleFest.EU 2026.

Last year, the team at MeetFighters / WatchFighters generously donated funds to keep costs as low as possible for everyone. Through their sponsorship, we were able to show what we, as a community, can achieve when we organize events for ourselves, and how beneficial these gatherings are—both for us as individuals and for our wider community of fighters. We are forever thankful to MF / WF for making this possible.

Now, in a step that strengthens our partnership and helps us grow as a community, MF/WF has introduced this platform for us to crowdfund the event together. It is important to note that MF/WF is still supporting us 100%. In fact, they are providing the funds in advance. Their guarantee is simple: whatever amount we do not reach by the end of the fundraiser, MF/WF will cover the difference.

This is huge for us. With more than 21 open mats planned for 2026 and twice the number of attendees, we can keep WrestleFest Europe as affordable as it was in 2025. Those who are able to donate may contribute any amount here. Thanks to MF/WF, 100% of the money goes directly to WrestleFest Europe. Once our annual goal is reached, any extra funds raised will remain on this platform for the following year.

Your donations will primarily support the FightersAID Fund, helping students and economically disadvantaged queer fighters attend WrestleFest.EU.

Another way to look at it is this: any donation to WrestleFest Europe also supports the global community, because it reduces the financial burden on MF/WF and strengthens their ability to support all WrestleFests. It’s a win–win for all of us. I hope you will contribute what you can. By my calculation, if each of us (500 people) donates $20, we will reach our goal.

Donations at any level can be made multiple times, and the fundraiser will remain open until 15th June, 2026.
